Awards –

It is the end of the year (well a bit later than that but life happened) and while I will have the traditional Best of 2017 and Worst of 2017 lists, I have found that both of those lists miss some of the important facets that make films work, or not work.

So twenty hours later, I have just left the introduction island of Fort Joy and I thought it would be a good time to put down my first thoughts.
